Alternative summertime burger recipes

Warm weather is finally here and breaking out the ol’ grill to make burgers sounds like a perfect way to start off the long summer days. Burgers have a reputation as juicy and delicious (is your mouthwatering yet?), but not so calorie friendly.

So how can you get something that looks like a burger and tastes like a burger, but isn’t a “burger”? We have some alternative burger recipes that pack the flavor punch but may be a little friendlier to your waistline.

Juicy. Hearty. Flavorful. Everything you want from a burger is right here. This turkey burger recipe is served on a warm artisan whole grain roll with a generous serving of a smoky chipotle mayo and melted cheddar cheese – this makes for a better burger alternative with all the flavors you desire.

Now you're armed with the perfect alternative burger recipes for summer – and all you have to do is relax, enjoy the grill aromas, easy clean up and best of all, the grilling flavors!
